What's next?

Check on Anna

Anna looked fine. She had bandages around her right foot. The drill sergeant stood in the corner, not allowing Anna and Dolph any privacy.

"Hi Dolph."

"Anna, how's your foot?"

"It's alright. It's not a broken ankle. A sharp rock broke through my shoe and impaled my foot. Maybe the lesson is to wear boots" she said.

"I'll make sure that soldiers are given boots before the **** run." the Drill Sergeant said, with no hint of regret in his voice. Dolph looked at him.

"You have a problem, maggot?" he said.

"No sir." Dolph wondered if he should ask why she let herself slip and fall. What if it was something she couldn't reveal in front of the Drill Sergeant? It was better to wait until they were alone.

"Glad you're alright. Me and the others were talking about why we joined up, and I was wondering why you did."

A loud crash was heard. The drill sergeant looked out the window and ran out. "What in the name of fuck are you doing?" Even as he ran, they could still hear his screaming.

Anna looked depressed, and sighed. "I'm poor, and never had the chance to learn a skill. My choices were to become a prostitute, a maid, or join the military." That's why her shoes were so bad, Dolph thought.

Dolph winced. "You know why I joined?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm dumb as rocks." Anna smiled.

Dolph felt butterflies, as he dared himself to ask the question he was dying to know.

"Anna," Dolph paused.

"Yes?"

There was no going back now. He had to ask her.

"Why did you choose to fall?"

Anna looked at him, she was thinking.

"I don't know. I guess I just didn't want you to die for me. You were saving me, so I wanted to save you."

"Thank you kindly, Anna."

"It's nothing. We're even."

The Drill Sergeant came back in.

"Get well soon. We're all rooting for you." Dolph said.

What's next?

More fun
